Special Weather Statement issued May 22 at 2:16PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK

Increasing moisture and instability over the Eastern Interior
will bring heavy rain showers and widely scattered thunderstorms
Saturday and Sunday. The atmosphere over the weekend will be more
typical of late July than the end of May. Storms that do form will
not move quickly and may be nearly stationary, which will allow
them to drop abundant rainfall over small areas. Not all areas
will see rainfall, but creeks and streams near areas that do see
heavy rain may rise rapidly, especially in steep terrain.

Recreators should be alert for areas of heavy rainfall,
lightning, and for rapidly rising creeks and streams.
